DESCRIPTION
pimd is a protocol-independent multicast component that works with the Quagga Routing Suite.

OPTIONS
Options available for the pimd command:

-d, --daemon
    Runs in daemon mode, forking and exiting from tty.

    Specifies the config file to use for startup. If not specified this option will likely default to /usr/local/etc/pimd.conf.

    Specify the group to run as. Default is quagga.

-h, --help

    Specify the socket path for contacting the zebra daemon. The likely default is /var/run/zserv.api.
